How about this one, too, so we'll know the technical competency of the
people who provide answers to the first two questions:

"Do you believe it is possible for software vendors to disclose

the global hacking community learning about that disclosure?"

Any answer other than "No." would prove the respondant is not qualified
to give answers to such questions.
